058: The Nuances of Safety in Relationships with Kelley Bode

Feeling safe is one of the most important foundations of a healthy loving relationship so this week I’m sharing with you some tips and frameworks so you can feel comfortable sharing your deep feelings with your partner in a loving space. I get a ton of comments and messages from people expressing their fear about opening up and sharing deeply or being completely shocked by the idea of sharing their resentments with their partner because they’re so afraid of how it will end. So don’t worry, I got you covered this week. I talk about the power of writing down our feelings to make us have an objective perspective on a situation, removing shame from being open about our feelings and I touch on one of my BIGGEST philosophies in relationships which is all about holding that mirror up to yourself.   WHAT ELSE I TALK ABOUT:   A step-by-step framework to help you feel your feelings and express your thoughts calmly and thoughtfully Recognizing your blindspots, where you took part in a situation and being able to take personal responsibility How safety is more than a foundation and needs to be present in ALL of our relationships How these frameworks can be used for anyone in our lives not just our romantic partners  How we must do some internal growth and perspective work and can’t look to others to make us feel safe in our relationships The importance  of outside support from coaches, friends or family after you’ve done some introspective work Connect with me:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelleymbode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelley.bode.90  Twitter: https://twitter.com/kelleybode
